CRS calculator

Estimate a CRS score against the published grid. Results update as you fill in the form. This is not an IRCC assessment, and it is not a prediction that you will be invited.

2026 category-based selection follows the official IRCC tables (page details 22 Jun 2026).

  • Healthcare, STEM, trades, education, and transport: at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) in the last 3 years, in a single listed occupation, in Canada or abroad.
  • Physicians, senior managers, and researchers use the same 12-month rule, and the work must be in Canada.
  • This experience does not need to be continuous.
  • French-language proficiency is NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities.
  • Skilled military recruits is a separate FSMA pathway, not a 12-month occupation tag.

Notice, checked 16 Oct 2026

From 3 Nov 2026, IRCC awards points for eligible Canadian work experience in a high-wage occupation, or for a qualifying job offer in a high-wage occupation, and keeps the higher of the two. An LMIA is not required for those new job-offer points. The job offer page says an LMIA will no longer be required for a job offer used toward Federal Skilled Worker or Federal Skilled Trades eligibility, including occupations that are not high-wage. The backgrounder describes that eligibility change as a temporary public policy for candidates invited on or after 3 Nov 2026 who meet the policy conditions.

The calculator starts the 3 Nov 2026 rules at midnight in Toronto. That start time is our assumption. IRCC did not state a time.

Profiles already in the pool are recalculated automatically, including points for eligible Canadian work experience. A candidate who wants points for a qualifying job offer has to update the profile with the required job offer information before 3 Nov 2026. The job offer page says the online system will still ask for a positive LMIA, and it tells candidates to answer Yes, enter LMIA number 00000, and use 2026-01-01 and 2029-01-01 as the issuance and expiry dates.

Recalculation may take up to two weeks. Invitation rounds are paused while that runs. IRCC says rounds start again when recalculation is complete.

This page repeats those Canada.ca pages for scoring practice. IRCC applies the rules to a real profile. The calculator does not collect a name, an email address, or an application number.

Applicant information

You

CRS age points are 0 at 45 or older. FSW grid points are 0 at 47 or older.

Foreign credentials need an Educational Credential Assessment for an IRCC application.

Languages

Estimate applies the same CLB/NCLC to all four abilities. Score lets you enter CLB 4-10+ (or NCLC) per ability, matching the IRCC CRS tables. Approved tests and conversions: IRCC language testing.

English (CLB)
French (NCLC)

The calculator uses the higher-scoring official language as first official language. French NCLC 7 in all four abilities can add 25 or 50 CRS points and may meet the French-language category threshold.

Skilled work

Duration points use this field. From 3 Nov 2026, high-wage experience points use the month fields below and follow the backgrounder waterfall.

Skilled work for Express Entry is usually TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3. Count full-time years or equivalent part-time.

Enter months in each level separately. Months at a higher level also count toward the lower combined totals. 70 points need 12 months at twice the median. If that bar is missed, 40 points need 12 months combined at 1.5 times or above. If that bar is missed, 20 points need 12 months combined at 1.3 times or above. Under current rules these months do not change the total.

Occupation

Search the official list of 516 NOC 2021 5-digit unit groups from Statistics Canada. Express Entry skilled work is usually TEER 0, 1, 2 or 3. Confirm your code with IRCC Find your NOC or the ESDC NOC search.

Family

If your spouse is not coming, or is a citizen or permanent resident, IRCC scores you as a single applicant.

2026 category-based selection

Lists and rules follow the IRCC category hub (page details 2026-06-22). Healthcare, STEM, trades, education, and transport: at least 12 months full-time (or equivalent part-time) in the last 3 years, in a single listed occupation, in Canada or abroad. Physicians, senior managers, and researchers: the same 12 months in the last 3 years, and the work must be in Canada. This experience does not need to be continuous. French-language proficiency is NCLC 7 in all 4 abilities, not a work-experience tag. Skilled military recruits is not a 12-month occupation tag: Foreign Skilled Military Applicant status, 10 years of continuous foreign military service, a Canadian Forces Recruiting Group offer of at least 3 years in NOC 40042 / 42102 / 43204, and a 2-year post-secondary credential (Educational Credential Assessment if foreign). Ministerial instructions for each round control who is invited.
